Virgin Atlantic offers a piece system instead of the traditional weight system widely adopted by many other airlines. The piece system was implemented on 25th November 2009 but if you purchased your ticket before then you could still use the traditional weight system. The piece system was implemented to lower overall charges for the customer. Please refer to the table below to see what limitations apply to you.
